Background notes

The new monthly output survey commenced in January 2010, replacing the existing survey which was carried out quarterly.

Seasonally adjusted monthly estimates will not be available until enough monthly data are available for this to be done reliably. After 3 years of estimates are available, ONS will review if it is feasible at that point.

As a user of our statistics, we would welcome feedback on this release, in particular on the content, format and structure. Please send feedback to the following postal or e-mail address:
